[Embo]

A true story:  I broke my parents' bed because of Fosbury.  Yes, summer of 1968, a 10 year old watching the Olympic Games, I had to try it myself.  Landed on the edge of the bed and snapped the wooden side board.

Those Mexico City games were stuff of legend.  Fosbury and his flop - not only was his jump unconventional, he would stand on the field pre jump, eyes closed and fists clenched, rocking back and forth to psych himself up.  George Foreman - holding up a small American flag in the ring. And Tommie Smith and John Carlos with an indelible image.
